B.E. A Star Binder

 

     Wow, school is off to a great start!!  I just love all of my new little friends.  I wanted to share my B.E.  A Star Binder.  This has been such a great tool to use in my room.  For me it is all inclusive.  It has information for my parents, interactive calendar section for my students and their poetry notebook all in one.

Begin teaching young children how to be organized with this binder.  This is the best tool to help children keep all of their items in one place.  I have all of the information the parents could ever need here in one place.  I also have our class calendar working section and our poetry section here in this binder.  I have used this format for years when I taught 2^nd grade but now use it with my kindergarten class.  I never realized what a benefit it could be for this age also.  I have been able to tweak my format with ideas from fellow teachers at my school.  I have added this to my TPT store.  Click on my TPT button to go to my store. If you choose to purchase it, I hope you find some of these pages beneficial for your little friends and their parents.

First Day Of School

Wow!!  Today was great!  I got to spend the whole day with all of my new friends.  We had a great time.  We learned routines, made rules for our class, and began to learn a little about circle maps with our first Star of The Day.  We chose our Winthrop intern to be our first.  All of my children enjoyed being the new celebrities in kindergarten.

One of our favorite activites was chasing down our gingerbread cookies that jumped from the oven.

Here are a few pictures of the hallway and a few items in our room to go along with our Celebrity Theme.

 Tomorrow we are stamping our handprints to go along with our "Walk of Fame".  Can't wait.  We are going to be doing our celebrity glyph and more of my celebrity unit ideas next week.

 

         

Celebrity Theme

Wow!  I can’t believe that tomorrow I get to meet my new friends.  Tomorrow is Meet the Teacher in our district.  I still have a few things to get done in the morning but then we get to meet our children and their parents in the afternoon.

          We have had sooo much fun getting my classroom completed with our new Kindergarten Rocks Celebrity theme.  I have had so much fun putting a new twist on some of my old activities with the Celebrity twist.

         Things have been so exciting!!  I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful assistant and an intern from Winthrop University.  My intern has been with us every day so far.  She is great!!  She has been so helpful.

          I will get some pictures tomorrow and add them.  I am sure everyone is a CRAZY busy as I am right now.

Celebrity Literacy & Math

    Oh My!!!  I can’t believe that summer is almost over.  I go back in 7 days for our teacher days.  I am sooo  excited!!!  I can’t wait to meet all of my new friends!

    My kindergarten team has chosen “Kindergarten Rocks” as our team theme!!  I am putting the celebrity twist on it!!  I am getting together some old ideas and of course adding new bigger and better ideas to it.  I have been at school beginning to get some of these things together!!  Getting to work in my room always gets my heart pumping!!  I will share pictures when I get it all together.

    I just placed my Celebrity Literacy and Math unit on Teachers Pay Teachers.  I am so excited to be able to share.  It has a few math common core center games, poetry, LA common core center games, cool art ideas, a glyph, sight word interactive literacy book and more.

Check it out!!!
